How to build the website

Starting a website is easier than ever and you don’t need technical skills to get going. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Decide the purpose of your website

Is it a blog, portfolio, online store, or business site? Defining this will guide your choices later.

2. Choose a website builder or platform

For beginners, use drag-and-drop builders like Wix, Canva, GoDaddy, or Squarespace. They handle design, hosting, and technical details.

For more control, consider WordPress, but expect a steeper learning curve.

3. Pick and register a domain name

Choose a unique, memorable name that reflects your brand or content. Register it through your website builder or a domain registrar

4. Select a hosting plan

• Most website builders include hosting. If using WordPress or similar, you’ll need to buy hosting separately.

5. Design your site

• Use templates and customize them with your content, images, and branding. Website builders make this step easy with drag-and-drop tools.

6. Add content

• Create pages (Home, About, Contact, Blog, etc.) and upload your text, images, and videos.

7. Publish your website

• Once you’re happy with the design and content, hit publish. Connect your custom domain if you have one.

8. Promote your site

• Share your website on social media, optimize for search engines, and use built-in marketing tools to attract visitors.
